Chapter 228: Tasting Chen Fayin

Zhou An finished settling the account and when he came out of the Gudao Teahouse, he happened to see Qu Yanyang get into a taxi, and watching the taxi drive away, Zhou An smiled and drove back to the store.

He didn't offer to send Qu Yanyang back just now, because he believed that on such a cold day, Qu Yanyang wouldn't want to take his electric tricycle again.

Not every type of milk is called Trensu, and it's not suitable for a convertible ride in any season.

……

On the way back to the store, Zhou An really began to think about whether to meet Chen Fayin, the former chef of Fumanlou.

Because of the rumors he had heard before, he didn't think about inviting this person to his new store, but Qu Yanyang's explanation made him change his opinion of Chen Fayin slightly.

Qu Yanyang can't invite him for the time being, but if he can invite Chen Fayin, the former head chef of Fumanlou, to his shop, some of the hard dishes in Fumanlou's past should be able to attract customers for himself.

The new store he is planning, after all, there are still those boxes upstairs, and it is not completely low-end, please invite Chen Fayin, the benefits are obvious.

Tan Guang is in charge of vegetarian dishes and stir-frying, and he is responsible for crayfish and fish biting sheep, killing pigs, etc., plus a Chen Fayin who is said to have good skills, if Chen Fayin can also bring another master with good skills and a few skilled cutting masters to come in, his new store that is about to open, at least the combat effectiveness of the kitchen can be guaranteed.

Where is the heart of a hotel?

Zhou An always thought that it should be a kitchen!

No matter how luxurious the decoration of the hotel is, no matter how capable the management is, the kitchen can't produce decent dishes, then the hotel can do it?

Thinking all the way, when he returned to the store, Zhou Anxin made a decision.

Since the benefits of inviting Chen Fayin are predictable, and ...... Chen Fayin's character is not clear, so please use it first!

The title of head chef can be given to him, and the treatment can also be preferential, as long as it can bring business to the store.

As for yourself?

Zhou An is not nostalgic for the false name of a head chef, the whole restaurant is his, and he still cares if he is the head chef? Could it be that if he doesn't have the title of head chef, it won't work if he talks to himself in the kitchen?

Without this title, he can make himself a lot easier, and the daily affairs of the kitchen are taken care of by Chen Fayin, he only needs to cook every day and occasionally listen to Chen Fayin's reports.

Maybe with Chen Fayin's rich experience, he may or may not be able to do better than him in managing the kitchen.

Giving others a chance is also liberating oneself.

In the future, I will have more leisure time to take care of the entire restaurant, develop new dishes, and occasionally take more time to make an appointment......

Life will become more flavorful.

Isn't what I've been pursuing is to live a better life? Perhaps, it's time to slow down the pace of life.

Thinking back to the half a year since he was reborn, he worked hard to make money, Zhou An sighed lightly, this is not the life he wants.

……

After making up his mind, Zhou An began to contact Chen Fayin.

The contact with Chen Fayin was very smooth, a phone call passed, when Chen Fayin on the other end of the phone heard that Fumanlou had been taken by Zhou An, and Zhou An intended to ask him to come back to take charge of the kitchen of the new store, Chen Fayin immediately became enthusiastic and took the initiative to say that it was inconvenient on the phone, and he could come over for an interview now.

In less than half an hour, he really appeared in front of Zhou An.

Interviewing a head chef, it was the first time that Zhou An's eldest girl went to the sedan chair, but he was not panicked, the chef industry is not old, and the craftsmanship must be good.

It doesn't mean that if you have been a chef, you must be better than the chef.

As a craftsman, Zhou Anxin has his own pride, and his pride comes from his confidence in his cooking skills.

Unless Chen Fayin's cooking skills can convince him, otherwise, even if Chen Fayin is much older than him, even if he has been the head chef of Fumanlou, Zhou An will not really respect him.

Craftsmen, speak by craftsmanship!

"Master Chen, fortunately! Today I contacted Manager Qu Yanyang, she strongly recommended you to me, but, how to say? A little ashamed! Although we were all working on this street before, I haven't entered Fumanlou to try Master Chen's craftsmanship, I heard that Master Chen's craftsmanship is very good, I don't know if I can show my hands?"

Zhou An said these words with a smile on his face, while paying attention to the change in Chen Fayin's expression.

He noticed that after Chen Fayin heard his words, his brows were not wrinkled, and his eyes did not flicker, but he smiled heartily, and rolled up his sleeves as he got up, "Okay, it should be! I heard that Boss Zhou, your cooking skills are also very good, and I will be ugly today!" ”

Zhou An smiled and took him to the kitchen.

What he wants to open is not a big hotel, so the head chef he wants to hire must have good cooking skills, the kind of head chef who is good at lip service, and he doesn't need it.

He had heard of Chen Fayin's craft, but before he was officially hired, he had to try it himself.

"What is Master Chen good at? Just do two!"

When he led Chen Fayin into the kitchen, Zhou An asked with a smile.

"Hehe, game! In addition to swallow abalone wings, general game, I ask myself if it is still a little special!"

At this time, Chen Fayin is no longer modest, and this is not the time to be modest.

Zhou An nodded, "Okay, but I don't have any game here, which type of home-cooked chicken, duck and fish is Master Chen good at?"

Chen Fayin's smile became a little helpless, "Since that's the case, then I'll make a braised chicken nugget and a beer duck, right?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you!"

……

When Chen Fayin, who changed into a chef's uniform and put on an apron, began to cook, Zhou An stood aside and noticed that Chen Fayin's expression became serious, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Zhou An could see that Chen Fayin may not have held a kitchen knife for a long time, the knife work is a little rusty, and the method of chopping chickens and ducks drags mud and water, and often goes down with a knife, the skin is still connected, and the size of the chicken and duck pieces chopped out is not very even.

If Chen Fayin came to apply for the board, Zhou An would tell him at this time, "It's okay, you can try it at another house!"

In terms of knife work, Zhou An is confident that he can throw Chen Fayin a few streets.

This is probably a common problem of chefs at Chen Fayin's age, and the knife work is often very rough.

This may have a lot to do with the fact that when they were young, they were not so particular about knife work when cooking.

However, from the moment Chen Fayin prepared the dishes and opened the stove and served the pot, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Zhou An's mouth and nodded slightly.

Although Chen Fayin is thin, his hand in serving the pot is very steady, and the pot and spoon are also extremely skillful, and he does not have the kind of rustiness that occurs when he does not hold the pot and spoon for a long time.

When he saw Chen Fayin rinsing the chicken pieces in the colander with water over and over again, instead of boiling water to blanch the chicken pieces, Zhou Anxin nodded secretly.

Dark Dao: Sure enough, I was born in game, and this habit has been maintained.
